During inclement weather, we want our community to be safe. If you must get out in these conditions, remember:

• Drive slower than usual so you have time to react to other traffic on the roadway.

• Turn on your headlights so you are visible to other vehicles and pedestrians.

• Be aware of possible flooding in low-lying areas.

• If you must be on the road, be aware and find an alternative route.

• While driving, any time you come to a flooded road, Turn Around. Don’t Drown.

The storm system is impacting Gulf beaches. Waves up to six feet have pushed the water to the dunes, and beach access roads are underwater.
